They seem uncommon, but if you watch, the petstores to get them in. I was paying more attention to colors than tails, and of the three crowntails we have, one is a double ray. I've paid more attention since then, not that I have room for any more at this time.
I like the crowntails - they didn't have a lot of the fancier tail types when I had a fishtank growing up, so they are quite interesting to me.
my King Steve had a neat tail.... he even had one set of rays that was shaped like a Y, but then our evil water got hold of it and melted most of his tail off. ;n; i hate my water for hating CTs..
Well, when I say uncommon, what I mean is that I go to the petstore and they have around 30 bettas. Half will be veiltails. Another 10 will be crowntails. The last 5 will be "Other". Of the 10 crowntails, a couple will be multiple rays. So: You can walk into the petstore and probably buy one, so fairly common. But they aren't by any means a large portion of what is available. That makes sense in my head
Also, each of our babies is a unique dancing fishy snowflake ;-)
Zucca, my orange/green CT, is a double ray. Honestly they aren't that rare, but they are quite striking. I love finding double double ray CTs - four rays on each branch instead of two.
my green/blue CT is isnt a single ray CT, my pineapple CT is also the same case. ray but its less prominant. both have healing fins to get used to the local harder water. the grizzle ct definetly doesnt show it now as fin rot got to the caudal.
They're not rare at all. All I see are DR CTs. DDR (4) are a bit less common but again nothing too rare.
